be placed. 

Every applicant for a room shall agree beforehand, and 
shall be required, to take the room which may be assigned to 
him by lot in the group in which he has made application. 

d. Each drawing shall begin with the first group and 
proceed from that group through the other groups success- 
ively in the order given above. Any applicant who does 
not obtain a room in the group to which he first asked to be 
assigned ma}^ be allowed to draw in any higher group. 

e. If there be any rooms remaining unassigned after a 
drawing, such rooms may be assigned by subsequent allot- 
ment, at such time before the end of the year or of the term 
as the Treasurer may appoint ; such supplementary allot- 
ment to be made under the same rules as the principal 
allotment, with this exception, that the rooms disposed of 
by means of it may be classified as above or not, at the dis- 
cretion of the Treasurer.

allotted in accordance with the above regulations. Only 
such suites as consist of a study and two bedrooms shall be

shall it be within the privilege of any single individual to 
draw for a double room. Every application for a double 
room must give the names of two persons who intend to 
occupy the room together and who undertake to be jointly 
responsible for the rent of the same. 

i. Whenever for any reason one of the occupants of a 
double room is permitted or obliged to cancel his room 
lease, the remaining occupant must vacate the room at the 
end of the current academic term, unless he agrees to pay 
the whole rent, or provide a room-mate who shall join him 
in signing a new lease -for the remainder of the academic 
year. 

5. a. The tenure and liabilities of those to whom rooms 
are assigned under these rules shall be the tenure and lia- 
bilities expressed in the following lease, which must be

is to occupy it, and by his parent or guardian. This lease 
must be signed and deHvered to the Treasurer in each case 
within ten days of the allotment, except in the case of new 
students, provided for under Rule 4g. 

This agreement, made the day of , 190 , 

between the Trustees of Princeton University and 
of , witnesseth, that the said Trustees of Prince- 

ton University do hereby lease unto the said ■ Room 
No. in the Entry of , to hold for the aca- 

demic year of , paying therefor during the said 

term unto the said Trustees of Princeton University the 
yearly rent of $ in two equal payments, to be made 

the one within the first four weeks of the first term of the 
academic year, the other within the first four weeks of the 
second term of the academic year. 

And the said covenants to pay the said 

rent in the manner and at the times aforesaid, and to deliver 
up the said premises to the said Trustees of Princeton Uni- 
versity or its legal representative at the end of said term in 
as good condition as the same now are or may be put into 
by the said Trustees of Princeton University, reasonable 
use and wear and tear thereof, and fire and other casualty 
excepted. The said lessee also covenants that he will not 
do or suffer to be done any damage in the leased premises, 
and that, if any damage beyond reasonable wear and tear 
be done, he will cause the same to be made good as soon as 
possible at his own expense, eraploying for that purpose the 
proper University workmen, and paying the cost thereof at 
once to the University Treasurer, it being understood that 
the damage here meant includes the breakage of glass 
and locks, whether by accident or design. The said lessee 
further covenants that he will not sublet the same or any 
part thereof, nor permit any other person or persons to 
occupy the same or any part thereof, nor make nor suffer to 
be made any alteration therein without the consent of the 



ALLOTMENT AXD RENTAL OF ROOMS 7 

said Trustees of Princeton University for that purpose in 
writing first had and obtained. And the said lessee further 
covenants that the said Trustees of Princeton University 
through their authorized representative may enter the said 
premises for the purpose of viewing or making improve- 
ments therein at any reasonable times in the daytime, or at 
any other time for the legitimate purposes of University 
discipline. This lease is made on the express condition that 
it may be terminated by said Trustees through their repre- 
sentative. 

6. Any occupant of a college room may retain his 
room until the end of his undergraduate or graduate course, 
provided he annually notify the Treasurer of his intention 
of retaining it and sign' a new lease before the ist of May, 
otherwise his room shall be considered vacant and shall be 
included in the next allotment. In case an occupant of a 
double room be left without a room-mate at the end of the 
academic year, he may renew his lease upon condition of 
naming another student of the University who will become 
joint lessee with him for the following year, unless the room- 
mate who leaves is a Senior or a fourth year special. It 
shall also be the privilege of any occupant of a college room 
to renew his lease at the end of his own tenure in the name 
of his brother, when that brother is to enter the University 
immediately. 

c. The right to occupy a room is not transferable and 
terminates with the expiration of the lease. Any attempt 
on the part of the occupant of a college room to sell or 
transfer, directly or indirectly, his right of occupancy shall 
be deemed a fraudulent transaction. The penalty for vio- 
lating this rule shall be forfeiture of the rooms by the new 
lessee . 

d. The occupant of a college room shall deposit with 
the Curator the sum of 25 cents for each key to his room 
that may be furnished him by the University ; and all 



8 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 

amounts paid under this clause shall be refunded upon 
return of the key or keys furnished. 

6. The Committee on Grounds and Buildings shall 
engage a competent appraiser, not otherwise connected with 
the University, to determine the value of all beds (bed- 
steads, mattresses, and springs), chairs, tables, couches 
(including window seats and divans), washstands, crockery, 
bureaus, desks, carpets, and book-cases for sale in a room to 
be vacated. His decision shall be final in every appraisal. 
Under the general direction of the Treasurer, it shall be 
the duty of the appraiser to estimate separately the value 
of each of the above articles so offered for sale and to 
deposit with the Treasurer a complete list for each room of 
the articles appraised, with their' several values afi&xed. 
The owner shall not be permitted, under any pretext, to 
sell to his successor any article for more than the appraised 
valuation. If he does not wish to sell at so low a price, 
then he must remove his property from the room. If his 
successor does not wish to purchase at appraised valuation, 
he may order that the property be removed from the room. 
All payments for appraised furniture in a room vacated or 
transferred must be made through the Treasurer's office, 
but nothing in the rules shall be construed to create a 
liability on the part of the University for damaged or 
missing articles. All articles not in the above list must be 
removed from the room within two weeks after such room 
is vacated. 

7. No exchange of rooms shall be allowed unless for- 
mally sanctioned in writing by the Treasurer; and then 
only upon terms explicitly stated in a written application 
signed by both parties to the proposed exchange, and not 
in contravention of the spirit of these rules. Such appli- 
cations shall be kept on file in the Treasurer's office. 

8. When rooms are vacated during a term the rent 
shall be paid until the end of the term. An occupant of a 



ALLOTMENT AND RENTAL OF ROOMS 9 

college room who expects to be absent on leave for a term 
may be released from the obligations of his lease, provided 
he notify the Treasurer before the beginning of the term 
during which he expects to be absent, and give up the room ; 
but no abatement or drawback of room rent shall be allowed 
for any period less than a term, except in special cases to 
be stated in writing, and by permission of the Treasurer. 

9. The Faculty of the University is directed to sus- 
pend or expel every student that may be found guilty of 
breaking or evading these rules or of injuring or interfering 
with the person or property of his successor in a room; or 
of aiding or abetting another in such transgression, eva- 
sion, injury, or interference. The Faculty and all its officers 
are instructed to take the utmost pains, by ordinary' or 
extraordinary means, to discover such offenders and pre- 
vent such offences. 

The Faculty is further instructed to report, with the 
evidence discovered, the name of any graduate or outsider 
that may be guilty of such offences to the Committee on 
Grounds and Buildings ; and said Committee is authorized 
and directed to procure legal counsel and when the evi- 
dence seems to justify it to take appropriate legal proceed- 
ings against any and every offender before a court of law. 

" Such regulations in the foregoing " Rules Governing 
Allotment and Rental of Rooms as may be inconsistent 
with regulations in the following Rules which were adopted 
by the Board of Trustees on January 13, 1910, are void." 

RULES GOVERNING THE ALLOTMENT OF ROOMS 
AND FURNITURE APPRAISALS 

(Adopted January 13, 19 10) 



I. Upon the 5th day of May there shall be drawn by 
lot from all single and double rooms available for occupancy 
in the fall, accommodations for 150 entering Freshmen, 



10 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 

equitably distributed among the several groups according 
to rental; as far as possible widely scattered throughout 
all the dormitories and purposely including a fair propor- 
tion of the rooms available in Edwards Hall and University 
Hall. 

2. Not later than May 15th, and after the reservation 
of rooms for entering Freshmen shall have been made 
(as set forth in the preceding paragraph) , the usual annual 
allotment of rooms shall be made to students now in 
College. Signed applications to enter said room drawings 
must be filed with the Treasurer before May loth. 

3. The present system of furniture appraisals shall 
be discontinued, but the University will engage the services 
of a competent appraiser who will visit Princeton at a 
designated time, and who will make appraisals of furniture 
only upon written' request of students filed beforehand in 
the office of the Curator of Grounds and Buildings. Such 
appraisals are to be made in order to enable students to 
reach a mutually satisfactory agreement as to the prices 
to be paid for such of the furniture as the buyer wishes to 
purchase. 

4. The seller and buyer of furniture in rooms allotted 
to students now in College will be required to file in the 
office of the Curator of Grounds and Buildings, on or before 
June 15th, a statement signed by each of the students con- 
cerned and by their parents or guardians, to the effect that 
they have agreed upon a mutually satisfactory price for 
such of the furniture as the buyer is willing to purchase. 
In the absence of such an agreement being filed on or before 
June 15th, the owner of furniture will be notified to remove 
it immediately. If this notice is not complied with, the 
furniture will be sold by the University authorities. 

5. If any of the rooms drawn and held in reserve for 
the next incoming Freshman Class shall contain furniture, 
the owner of the furniture shall be informed that it must 



ALLOTMENT AND RENTAL OF ROOMS II 

be removed not later than the day in September when the 
dormitories are opened for occupancy; unless the Fresh- 
man to whom it is allotted shall elect to purchase it at the 
price fixed by the owner. 

6. The Registrar of the University shall be instructed 
to send to all candidates for admission to the Freshman 
Class, who have been admitted at the June examinations, 
a statement of the number and location of rooms reserved 
throughout the dormitories for the use of Freshmen, to- 
gether with the rental to be charged in each case, and a state- 
ment of the owner's valuation of the furniture which may 
have been left in any of the rooms. It shall be explicitly 
stated that the student to whom a room may be allotted 
is under no obligation to purchase furniture which may 
have been allowed to remain in the room as the property 
of the former occupant. Accompanying this statement 
will be a form of application blank which may be filed with 
the Treasurer at any time prior to July 15th, upon which 
the entering student may indicate in what group he desires 
to draw for a room and whether, in the event of his failure 
to draw a room in the group first chosen, he is willing to 
enter his application in the next higher group. No double 
room shall be assigned to a single individual, nor shall it 
be within the privilege of any single individual to draw for 
a double room. Ever}^ application for a double room must 
give the names of two students who intend to occupy the 
room together and to undertake to be jointly responsible 
for the rent of the same. 

7. Should the number of applications for rooms 
reserved for Freshmen be less than 150, the Treasurer shall 
be authorized immediately after the drawings are held to 
rent the available rooms to members of the incoming 
Freshman Class in the order of their application. 



12 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 



UNIVERSITY DINING HALLS 



All members of the Sophomore and Freshman classes 
board at the University Dining Halls, which are located on 
■the lower floors of University Hall. The rooms used by 
the Sophomores and Freshmen are entirely separate from 
each other, in different parts of the building. Each class 
has its own entrance, the Sophomores on Nassau Street 
and the Freshmen on University Place. The section de- 
voted to each class consists of several separate dining 
rooms and a large general club room, comfortably fur- 
nished. Provision is also made for upperclassmen who 
wish to board at the Dining Halls. The dining rooms and 
sitting rooms are lighted by electricity, heated by steam, 
and well ventilated. The kitchen is fitted up with all the 
best appliances for cooking and serving on a large scale and 
under perfect sanitar}'- conditions, and adjoining are a 
bakery, an ice cream plant, and a milk sterilizing plant. 

The price of board is five dollars and a half per week. 
If there are men who are unable to pay the full price, they 
should communicate with the Secretary of the University. 
To such men as may satisfy the Dining Halls Committee 
of their inability to pay the regular price a reduction is 
granted, the recipients of which are called upon from time 
to time to perform certain duties about the Halls. 

The Committee to which oversight of the dining halls 
is entrusted is known as the University Dining Halls Com- 
mittee and is composed of fourteen members: five from 
the Senior Class, five from the Junior Class, and four from 
the Sophomore Class. The University Dining Halls 
Committee, a Committee of the Faculty, a member of the 
Board of Trustees, and the Secretary of the University 
act as a Board of Directors. 



UNIVERSITY BILLS I3 



UNIVERSITY BILLS 



All University expenses, including board, must be paid 
in advance to the Treasurer of the University. 

Students may take their meals at any house approved 
by the Curator; with the exception of Freshmen and 
Sophomores, all of whom are required to board at the 
University Dining Halls. 

Students are required to call at the Treasurer's office 
in the course of the first ten days of each term, and to give 
information as to their place of boarding, etc., so that their 
bills can be made out. All bills must be paid within the 
first four weeks of the term. Failure to comply with this 
rule will deprive the student of the privileges of the Univer- 
sity until payment is made, unless excused by special vote 
of the Faculty. 

When a student enters the University before the 
middle of the term, he shall pay in full the usual charges for 
that term, with the exception of the charges for board; 
if he enter after the middle of the term, he shall pay one- 
half. For board he shall pay in proportion to the time. 

When a student leaves the University, whether volun- 
tarily or by dismissal, before the middle of any term, one- 
half of the charges for tuition and public rooms for that 
term shall be refunded. But in the case of temporan' 
absence and subsequent return, although the absence be 
for more than half a term, no such rebate shall be granted. 

When a student is dismissed from the University for 
any cause, the advance deposit for board, heat, and light, 
beyond the time of dismissal, shall be refunded to his parent 
or guardian. 



14 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 

When at the end of the first term the amount of the 
advance deposit proves to be in excess of the sum required 
to defray the board or room bills of any student, the excess 
shall be credited on his bill for the next term. At the end 
of the academic year the amounts overpaid by the members 
of the graduating class for board, room rent, heat, and light 
shall be refunded by the Treasurer to the student's parent 
or guardian. The parent or guardian of every tinder gradu- 
ate will be advised of the amount of excess to the credit of 
his son or ward, and such amount will be carried over to his 
credit on the bill of the first term of the following year. In case 
of withdrawal or dismissal from the University of any 
undergraduate at the end of the college year, such excess 
will be refunded by the Treasurer to the parent or guardian, 
when informed by the Clerk of the Faculty that such under- 
graduate has been withdrawn or dismissed from the Uni- 
versity. 



REMISSION OF TUITION 15 



REMISSION OF TUITION 



Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor 
of Letters, or Bachelor of Science of insufftcient means and 
of more than ordinary intellectual ability may apply for 
remission of a part of the charge for tuition. Applicants 
who present satisfactory testimonials as to scholarship and 
character and proof that the assistance is absolutely needed 
will be granted remission of fifty dollars a term from the 
charge for tuition on admission to the University. This 
remission is in the form of a loan, and all who receive it are 
required to sign a non-interest-bearing note, to be held by 
the University, which the signer holds himself morally 
bound to pay at the earliest date practicable. 

Remission of tuition is granted in all cases for one term 
and subject to the following conditions: 

I. The student must be regiilar in attendance at his 
college exercises and free from serious discipline. 

II. His college standing, as shown by his latest semi- 
annual report, must not be below the third general group. 

III. His college bill for one term for board, room rent, 
light, and heat must not exceed one hundred and fifty 
dollars. 

An applicant who has fulfilled these conditions during 
the first term of a college year will be granted remission of 
fifty dollars from the charge for tuition for the second term 
of that year without further action on his part. 

In accepting remission of tuition it is understood that a 
student agrees to devote his time and energies to his studies, 
and if his work shall appear to suffer by reason of participa- 
tion in extra-curriculum activities, or if his scale of living 



l6 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 

shall seem to be out of proportion to his means, he shall 
forfeit the remission of tuition even though he shall have 
complied technically with the rules. 

For application blanks and further information apply- 
to the Secretary of the University, Princeton, New Jersey.

UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS I9 

In 1903 the Trustees decided to grant remission of 
tuition to applicants for scholarships who were candidates 
for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in accordance with the 
plan described in the section entitled Remission of Tuition ; 
and to use an amount approximating the income from 
scholarships founded prior to 1903 for the creation of fortv 
University Scholarships to be awarded in the manner 
described in the section entitled University Scholarships. 
In 1909 the privileges of remission of tuition and University 
Scholarships were extended to candidates for the degrees of 
Bachelor of Letters and Bachelor of Science. 

UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS 

From the income derived from scholarships founded 
prior to 1903 forty University Scholarships have been 
established: ten "A" Scholarships of the annual value 
of one hundred and sixty dollars each, and thirty "B" 
Scholarships of the annual value of one hundred and thirty 
dollars each. During the summer these scholarships will 
be awarded for the first term to members of the Senior, 
Junior, and Sophomore classes who are candidates for the 
degree of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Letters, or Bachelor 
of Science, and who have previously received remission of 
tuition, in accordance with the following rules: 

(a) The ten "A" Scholarships will be awarded to 
those students whose standing during the previous year 
was in the first general group. If more than ten students 
are eligible, award will be made according to seniority of 
class. 

(6) The thirty "B" Scholarships will be awarded to 
those students whose standing during the previous year 
was in the second general group. If more than thirty 
students are eligible, award will be made according to 
seniority of class, except that students eligible for "A" 
Scholarships shall take preference over all others.
